Problem Set 3A

The document presents a frequency distribution table and exam scores for 108 college students. It finds the mean score to be 155.75, the median to fall within the 108-116 class interval, and the mode to be 117. It also compares 3 data sets with the same mean and range but different variations. Data set 3 has the highest variation with all values either well below or above the mean, while data set 2 has the lowest.

B. The three sets below have the same mean and range. Compare the variations.
Data set 1 5 7 9 11 13 15 17
Data set 2 5 6 7 11 15 16 17
Data set 3 5 5 5 11 17 17 17

s = √ Σ (x – x ) 2

draft set 1:

Σx = 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 77
Σx2 = 52 + 72 + 92 + 112 + 132 + 152 + 172 = 959

s2 = 959 – (77)2
7_

s = √ 18.66 = 4.31
draft set 2

Σx = 5 + 6 + 7 + 11 + 15 + 16 + 17 = 75
Σx2 = 52 + 62 + 72 + 112 + 152 + 162 + 172 = 1,001

s2 = 1,001 – (75)2
7_

s = √ 32.905 = 5.73

draft set 3

Σx = 5 + 5 + 5 + 11 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 77
Σx2 = 52 + 52 + 52 + 112 + 172 + 172 + 172 = 1,063

s2 = 1,063 – (77)2
7_
= 36
6

s = √ 36 =6

The variation is not the same since each data set has data values that have varying from the
mean.
